Create rank matrix

Description

Usage

Arguments

glist

list of preference lists

N

number of all rankable elements

full

logical showing if the given rankings are
complete

Details

The lists are converted to a format that is used by
aggregateRanks. If partial rankings are given to the
function, all the missing values are subtituted by the
maximum rank N, which can be specified manually. This
parameter has a very strong influence on the performance
of RRA algorithm, therfore it should be reasonably
accurate. If the N is different for the gene lists, it
can be also given as a vector.

Parameter full is used, when full rankings are given, but
the sets of ranked elements do not match perfectly. Then
the structurally missing values are substituted with
NA-s.

Value

A matrix, with as many columns as input rankings and rows
as unique elements in all the rankings combined.
